Associations between venous thromboembolism onset, D-dimer, and soluble fibrin monomer complex after total knee arthroplasty

SFMC concentration is an effective hemostatic marker for early detection of DVT. D-dimer concentration alone has limited value as a hemostatic marker for early detection of DVT. Measurement of both D-dimer and SFMC concentrations might be a more sensitive diagnostic tool than measuring SFMC concentration alone.
